MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is looking for new Conservation Wardens.

“What I’ve found in this career, which I haven’t in any of my previous careers, is this unique level of satisfaction,” Sinclair said. “Collectively what everyone at the DNR is doing together is having a positive impact on our natural resources.
Applicants must be 21 years old and must have earned or are planning to earn at least 60 hours of college credits within the first five years of being hired.
